Palm Beach 1957
Longwings can be ugly, too:

Without checking their site, but at one point O'Connells had some NOS Sea Island cotton BD's in stock, not sure if they still have. They weren't cheap.
Some great vintage ads there, I wonder what that chick in the swimsuit looks like today?
Back to clothes...

^ Great - those old Harry Fenton adverts always seem to emphasise the natural shoulder - anybody got a vintage Harry Fenton, there must be a few knocking about in the UK? Like how they've also managed to get a fag in - what would 60's advertising be without cigarettes.
I am wondering that I can find this post I really need this information and at last today I find it, thank for sharing such a nice information with me and with other user thanks a lot and great wishes, thanks

WOW, Tony, you should have your own archive over here, just like Horace!
from Lloyd Johnson's page Original Modernists 1959-66:
Lloyd: "Hi! Chris do you mean the shoes here...They're ripple/zig-zag soles ...they were very popular for a short spell yes..I remember them...I've been looking for a pair on Ebay for a longtime but they never come up....This is Pierre Koenig the Modernist Architect..cool look wash n wear suit ..oxford BD..slim tie full windsor...and the Jerry Mulligan crop...he designed some fabulous houses in California during the 50s/60s..."
could have been posted in the architects thread as well...

I bought my first suit from Harry Fenton. I shudder to think of it now.
Most interesting photographs I've seen for a while are of the three authors of 'The Films Of James Stewart', published back in 1970. Jones, McClure and Twomey look like stewards at a Goldwater rally: short hair, specs, narrow ties. Almost certainly no Englishman ever looked like that unless they were making a highly conscious effort.
